Re: My special place
I know that feeling @Snowie but you are doing everything you can and that is all that can be asked of you. Just a little hope can go a long way though so I hope this visit tomorrow gives you that. Are you sleeping okay Hon?
I hope the little escape artist is giving you a lot of cuddles and the kids are behaving for you

Re: My special place
I am hoping the pdoc can do something tomorrow to help. It will be a relief if he can and if it works. Sleep is going ok but not as good as it was. Again, another thing I need to speak to the pdoc about.
The kids have been great, just hoping that this is not affecting them too much. They have even noticed that I am not myself at the moment.
Izzy is alseep next to me

Re: My special place
Kids do pick up on how we are @Snowie but it is great that they have been good - I am sure all they want is their Mum to be well. It sucks that the sleeping is not as good as it was - it could be like me that you are more used to the meds and they need a slight tweak. We decreased mine slightly some time back and that was enough for me to not sleep again so we went back up to the dose I am on now and that has been working for several months. I hope it is a simple fix for you too. There is such a fine line though between what zonks us out and the right amount of sleep - we both know that line is easily crossed without the right meds.
Toby has brought himself in and is spread out next to me - Cat is still outside though. Give Izzy a cuddle from me, Toby turns 5 in a couple of weeks - I can't believe I have had him for so long but I did lose over a year being so unwell for so long - thank goodness I had him for that time though - gotta love our fur babies

Re: My special place
I am glad your meds are worked out now @Zoe7, I know how slight a change in meds can alter how we are and our sleep. I am hoping it is a slight change that will help me and not a complete change in meds again.
Yes gotta love our fur babies. Wow, 5 years is a long time to have Toby hon. I am glad you had him through the harest times.

Re: My special place
I am hoping it will only be a slight change for you too Hon - you have been through so much @Snowie and you so deserve a break.
Cat turned 10 last birthday and I can't believe she is that old already - it really doesn't seem like that long I have had her but knowing Toby is now nearly 5 is a bit of a shock to the system - that time has gone so quickly. But he is one of the best decisions I have maed in my life - he is more than just a puppy dog - he is my little shadow, my companion and my baby all rolled into one and I couldn't imagine life without him ...infact there probably wouldn't be one without him So he is pretty special

Re: My special place
Sorry I have not checked in for awhile.
Last week I saw my pdoc and that went okish. I thought he would take me off this med but he has increased it. It is not doing anything to lower my anxiety, in fact I think it is making it worse. The only time I have some relief is when I am sleeping so that is what I have been trying to do. The poor kids are stuck at home because of me not wanting to do anything. I really need to try and get out with them, but just feel so derailed by this constant anxiety.
I also had to see an independent pdoc last week for work cover which did not seem to go well at all. He asked some really hard questions which I couldn't answer and I got so jumbled up and confused. I really do not know what the report will find on this one. If it says I am fit to go back to work, then I will have to.
Some good news, finally heard about the DBT course and start mid January on that which was good news to find out.
